4. System Hardware Assembly and Installation The Shepherd is a versatile and easy to use system, however, time and care should be taken when choosing suitable camera, transmitter and receiver locations and during installation. 4.1 System Location To obtain the best possible picture quality and transmission distance, follow these general rules of thumb: Mount the transmitter and receiver as high as possible to avoid human and mechanical traffic and to reduce signal interference caused by the ground plane.

If the connection distance between the PTZ Controller and the Receiver is too long, reduce the baud rate on both the PTZ Controller and on the Shepherd Transmitter and Receiver. The product is intended only for fixed point-to-point operation. The product is exclusively for fixed point-to-point operation and that operation in point-to-multipoint systems, omni-directional applications, or in applications with multiple co-located intentional radiators transmitting the same information is strictly prohibited.
